Description
Technical Field
The present invention provides template-fixed β -hairpin peptidomimetics comprising a template-fixed chain of 12, 14 or 18 α -amino acid residues, wherein the residues, depending on their position in the chain, are Gly, NMeGly, Pro or Pip, or are of some type as defined below. These template-fixed β -hairpin mimetics have CXCR4 antagonistic activity. In addition, the present invention provides an efficient synthetic method according to which these compounds can be prepared in a parallel library format (parallel library-format) as required. These β -hairpin peptidomimetics show improved efficacy, bioavailability, half-life and most importantly a significant increase in the ratio between CXCR4 antagonistic activity of the mimetic and erythrocyte hemolysis and cytotoxicity.
Background
Available treatments for treatment of HIV infection to date have resulted in significant improvements in symptoms or recovery in infected people. Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART-therapy) involving the combined use of reverse transcriptase/protease inhibitors has significantly improved the clinical treatment of AIDS or HIV infected individuals, there are several serious problems including multi-drug resistance, considerable side effects and high costs. Particularly needed are anti-HIV agents that block HIV infection early in the infection, such as at the time of viral entry.
It has recently been recognized that the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4, as well as the primary receptor CD4, are required for human immunodeficiency viruses to efficiently enter target cells (n.levy, engl.j.med., 335, 29, 1528-. Therefore, drugs capable of blocking CXCR4 chemokine receptors should prevent infection in healthy individuals or slow or stop virus development in infected patients (Science, 1997, 275, 1261-1264).
Among the different types of CXCR4 inhibitors (m.schwarz, t.n.c.wells, a.e.i.prudfoot, Receptors and Channels, 2001, 7, 417-428), an emerging species is a natural cationic peptide analogue derived from Polyphemusin II, which has an antiparallel β -sheet structure and a β -hairpin (β -hairpin) held by two disulfide bridges (h.nakashima, m.masuda, t.murakami, y.koyanagi, a.matsumoto, n.fujii, n.yamamoto, aniticrobobiAgents and chemioth.1992, 36, 1249-1255; h.tamimura, m.kumada, m.masuda, a.otaka, s.nakoshi, h.h.yakoshii, h.yakoshii, m.h.kushii, m.m.masokou, n.yamoki, n.yamoaku.32, waystimu.p.n.32, wo.e.n.waystimu, m.32, biophysi.p.p.p.p.p.n.p.p.p. 95/10534, bio-koyagi, m.t.t, n.t.
The synthesis of structural analogs and structural studies using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have shown that the cationic peptide adopts a well-defined β -hairpin conformation, due to the restriction of one or two disulfide bridges. (H.Tamamura, M.Sugioka, Y.Odagaki, A.Omagari, Y.Kahn, S.Oishi, H.Nakashima, N.Yamamoto, S.C.Peiper, N.Hamamaka, A.Otaka, N.Fujii, bioorg.Med.Chem.Lett.2001, 359- "362). These results indicate that this β -hairpin structure plays an important role in CXCR4 antagonistic activity.
Additional structural studies have also shown that antagonistic activity can also be affected by modulation of the amphipathic structure and pharmacophore (H.Tamamura, A.Omagarai, K.Hiramatsu,. K.Gotoh, T.Kanamoto, Y.xu, E.Kodama, M.Matsuoka, T.Hattori, N.Yamamoto, H.Nakashima, A.Otaka, N.Fujii, bioorg.Med.Chem.Lett.2001, 11, 1897-containing 1902; H.Tamamura, A.Omagarai, K.Hiramatsu, S.Oishi, H.Habashita, T.Kanamoto, K.Gotoh, N.Yamamoto, H.Nakashima, A.Otaka N.Jii, Bioorg.Futom.14110, Yanaoko, K.10, K.Gotoh, N.Yamato-10, Hakashima, H.10, Haemaokamu.10, Hayaokamu.10, K.10, Haemaokra, H.S.1897, H.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.A.S.S.S.S.10, H.M.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.A.S.S.A.S.S.A.S.S.S.S.S.S.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A..
A key issue in the design of CXCR4 antagonistic peptides is selectivity. polyphemusin II derived analogs, although improved, still have cytotoxicity (k. matsuzaki, m. fukui, n. fujii, k. miyajima, biochim. biophysis. acta 1991, 259, 1070; a. otaka, h. tamamamura, y. terakawa, m. masuda, t.koide, t.murakami, h.nakashima, k.matsuzaki, k.miyajima, t.ibuka, m.waki, a.matsumoto, n.yamamoto, n.fujii biol.pharm.bull.1994, 17, 1669 and references cited above).
This cytotoxic activity essentially precludes its use in vivo and is a serious drawback in clinical applications. Before intravenous use is considered, general toxicity, protein binding activity in serum and protease stability become serious problems that must be adequately solved.
It has recently been disclosed that the CXCR4 receptor is not only involved in the entry of HIV but also in the chemotactic activity of Cancer cells such as breast Cancer metastasis or ovarian Cancer (a. muller, b. homey, h. soto, n.ge, d.catron, m.e.buchan, t.mc Clanahan, e.murphey, w.yuan, s.n.wagner, j.luis Barrera, a.mohar, e.verastegui, a.zlik, Nature 2001, 50, 410, j.m.hall, k.s.korach, molecular endocrinology, 2003, 1-47), non-hodgkin lymphoma (f.berthini, c.dell agala, p.manusco, c.rabasco, a.buelini, s.burlai, sabiri, sartori, R. Blocking this chemotactic activity (chemotactic activity) with CXCR4 inhibitors can prevent the migration of cancer cells.
This CXCR4 receptor is also implicated in tumor growth and proliferation. Activation of the CXCR4 receptor has been shown to be critical for the growth of malignant neurons and glia tumors and small cell lung tumors. In addition, systemic administration of the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 may inhibit growth of intracranial glioblastomas and medulloblastoma xenografts by increasing apoptosis and decreasing proliferation of tumor cells (Rubin JB, Kung AL, Klein RS, Chan JA, Sun Y, SchmidK, Kieran MW, luter AD, Segal RA. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2003100 (23): 13513-.
Chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (CXCL12/SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 are implicated in the trafficking of B cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells. This CXCR4 receptor has been shown to play an important role in the release of stem cells from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. This receptor is expressed, for example, on CD34+ cells and has been implicated in the process of migration and homing of CD34+ cells. This activity of the CXCR4 receptor is very important for efficient apheresis (apheresis) collection of peripheral blood stem cells. Autologous peripheral blood cell autologous transplantation will provide rapid and sustained hematopoietic recovery following high dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy in patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. (WC. Liles et al, Blood 2003, 102, 2728-.
There is increasing evidence that the interaction between chemokines in general, and the chemoattractant CXCL 12/stromal cell derived factor-1 α in particular, and its receptor CXCR4 plays a key role in angiogenesis. Chemokines induce angiogenesis either directly by binding to their cognate receptors on endothelial cells or indirectly by promoting inflammatory cell infiltrates that deliver other angiogenic stimuli. A number of pro-inflammatory chemokines, including interleukin 8(IL-8), growth-regulating oncogenes, stromal cell derived factor 1(SDF-1), monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1), eotaxin 1 and I-309, have been shown to be useful as direct inducers of angiogenesis. (Chen X, Beutler JA, McCloud TG, Loehfelm A, Yang L, Dong HF, Chertov OY, Salcedo R, Oppenheim JJ, Howard 0M. Clin Cancer Res.20039 (8): 3115-.
It is well established that chemokines are involved in many inflammatory pathological processes and that some of them play a key role in the regulation of osteoclast development. Immunostaining of SDF-1(CXCL12) on synovial and bone tissue biopsies obtained from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Osteoarthritis (OA) samples has revealed a strong increase in expression levels under inflammatory conditions. (Grassi F, Cristino S, Toneguzzi S, Picentini A, Facchini A, Lisignoli G.J Cell physiol.2004; 199 (2): 244-.
Mediation of the process of recruitment of immune cells to the site of inflammation should be stopped by CXCR4 inhibitors.
Novel strategies are employed to stabilize the beta-hairpin conformation in cyclic backbone-turn peptidomimetics that exhibit high CXCR4 antagonistic activity, are useful for efficient reinjection collection of peripheral blood stem cells, and have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity, among the compounds described below.
This involves grafting a cationic and hydrophobic hairpin sequence onto a template that functions to constrain the peptide loop backbone to a hairpin geometry. The rigidity of the hairpin can be further influenced by the introduction of disulfide bonds. Hairpin mimetics which bind to the template have been described in the literature (D, Obrecht, M.Altorfer, J.A.Robinson, adv.Med.chem.1999, 4, 1-68; J.A.Robinson, Syn.Lett.2000, 4, 429-441), but such molecules have not previously been evaluated for the development of CXCR4 antagonistic peptides. However, the ability to generate β -hairpin peptidomimetics by using combinatorial or parallel synthetic methods is now established (L.Jiang, K.Moehle, B.Dhanapaal, D.Obrecht, J.A.Robinson, Helv.Chim.acta.2000, 83, 3097-.
These methods allow the synthesis and screening of large hairpin mimetic libraries, which in turn significantly facilitates structure-activity studies and thus the development of new molecules with highly potent CXCR4 antagonistic activity or anti-cancer activity or anti-inflammatory activity and low hemolytic activity towards human erythrocytes.
The β -hairpin peptidomimetics obtained by the methods described herein are useful as anti-HIV agents, anti-cancer agents, as inhibitors of tumor growth or as apoptosis inducers, anti-metastatic agents, and anti-inflammatory agents or as agents capable of use in the reinjection collection of peripheral blood stem cells.

The peptidomimetics of the invention may also be enantiomers of the compounds of formula I. These enantiomers can be prepared by modifications of the above process, wherein all enantiomers of chiral starting materials are used.
The term "alkyl" as used in the present specification, alone or in combination, denotes a saturated, straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical having up to 24, preferably up to 12, carbon atoms. Similarly, the term "alkenyl" denotes a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical having up to 24, preferably up to 12 carbon atoms and containing at least one or (depending on the chain length) up to four olefinic double bonds. The term "lower" denotes groups and compounds having up to 6 carbon atoms. Thus, for example, the term "lower alkyl" denotes a saturated, straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon group having up to 6 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl and the like. The term "aryl" denotes an aromatic carbocyclic hydrocarbon radical containing one or two six-membered rings, such as phenyl or naphthyl, which may be substituted by up to three substituents such as Br, Cl, F, CF3,NO2Lower alkyl or lower alkenyl. The term "heteroaryl" denotes an aromatic heterocyclyl group containing one or two five-and/or six-membered rings, wherein at least one of the rings contains up to three heteroatoms selected from O, S and N and the ring is optionally substituted; representative examples of such optionally substituted heteroaryl groups are as described above in connection with R77The definition of (a) is shown.
The structural element-A-CO-represents an amino acid structural unit, which is combined with the structural element-B-CO-to form the templates (a1) and (a 2). The structural element-B-CO-is combined with another structural element-B-CO-to form a template (a 3). Preferably, the template (a3) is only present in formula I, wherein n is 18 in the chain Z. The templates (a) to (p) constitute a structural unit whose N-and C-terminals are spatially oriented such that the distance between the two groups can be 4.0 to 5.5 angstroms. The peptide chain Z is linked to the C-and N-termini of the templates (a) to (p) via the respective N-and C-termini, such that the template and the chain form a cyclic structure, such as the one described in general formula I. For the case where the distance between the N-and C-termini of the template is between 4.0-5.5 angstroms, the template will induce the H-bond network required for the formation of the beta-hairpin conformation in peptide chain Z. Thus, the template and peptide chain form a β -hairpin mimetic.
This beta-hairpin conformation is highly correlated with CXCR4 antagonistic activity of the beta-hairpin mimetics of the invention. The β -hairpin stable conformational nature of the templates (a) to (p) plays a key role not only for the selective CXCR4 antagonistic activity but also for the synthetic methods defined above, since the introduction of the template at the beginning or near the middle of the linear protected peptide precursor significantly increases the cyclization yield.
The structural units A1-A69 belong to the class of amino acids in which the N-terminus is a secondary amine which forms part of a ring. Among the genetically encoded amino acids, only proline belongs to this class. The structural units A1 to A69 are in the configuration (D) and they are bound to the structural unit-B-CO-in the (L) -configuration. Preferred binding for the template (a1) isDAl-CO-LB-CO-toDA69-CO-LB-CO-. Thus, for example,DPro-Lpro constitutes a prototype of template (a 1). Less preferred, but possible, is the formation of a conjugate of the template (a2)LAl-CO-DB-CO-toLA69-CO-DB-CO-. Thus, for example,LPro-Dpro constitutes a prototype of template (a 2).
It will be appreciated that the structural unit in which A has the (D) -configuration-A1-CO-to-A69-CO-carries the group R in the alpha-position to the N-terminus1。R1Are H and lower alkyl, wherein R is1The most preferred values of (b) are H and methyl. Those skilled in the art will recognize that A1-A69 is shown in the (D) -configuration for R1Is the case for H and methyl, which corresponds to the (R) -configuration. Dependent on R1According to Cahn, Ingold or Prelog-law, this configuration may also be represented as (S).
Except for R1In addition, the structural units-A1-CO-to-A69-CO-can also carry a group denoted R2To R17Other substituents of (1). These other substituents may be H, and if it is not H, it is preferably a small to medium size aliphatic or aromatic group.

"interchain bond"
Group I-NR86CH2CO-; "polar-cationic or hydrophobic"
Furthermore, the amino acid residues in the chain Z may also have the general formula-A-CO-or the general formula-B-CO-, wherein A and B are as defined above. Finally, Gly can also be an amino acid residue in chain Z, and Pro can also be an amino acid residue in chain Z, except where an interchain bond (H) may be present.
According to the substituent R72Group C includes amino acid residues having hydrophobic side chain groups of small to medium size. Hydrophobic residues refer to amino acid side chains that are uncharged at physiological pH and are repelled by aqueous solutions. In addition, these side chains generally do not contain hydrogen bond donor groups, such as, but not limited to, primaryAnd secondary amides, primary and secondary amines and their corresponding protonated salts, thiols, alcohols, phosphonic acids (salts/esters), phosphoric acids (salts/esters), ureas or thioureas. However, they may contain hydrogen bond acceptor groups such as ethers, thioethers, esters, tertiary amides, alkyl-or arylphosphonic acids (salts) and phosphoric acids (salts) or tertiary amines. Genetically encoded small to medium size amino acids include alanine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine and valine.
According to the substituent R73Group D includes amino acid residues having aromatic and heteroaromatic side chain groups. An aromatic amino acid residue refers to a hydrophobic amino acid having a side chain containing at least one ring (aromatic group) with a conjugated pi-electron system. They may additionally contain hydrogen bond donor groups such as, but not limited to, primary and secondary amides, primary and secondary amines and their corresponding protonated salts, thiols, alcohols, phosphonic acids, phosphoric acids, ureas or thioureas, as well as hydrogen bond acceptor groups such as, but not limited to, ethers, thioethers, esters, tertiary amides, alkyl-or arylphosphonic acids and phosphoric acids or tertiary amines. Genetically encoded aromatic amino acids include phenylalanine and tyrosine.
According to the substituent R77By heteroaromatic amino acid residue is meant a hydrophobic amino acid having a side chain containing at least one ring with a conjugated pi-system incorporating at least one heteroatom such as (but not limited to) O, S and N. In addition such residues may contain hydrogen bond donor groups such as, but not limited to, primary and secondary amides, primary and secondary amines and their corresponding protonated salts, thiols, alcohols, phosphonic acids (salts/esters), phosphoric acids (salts/esters), ureas or thioureas, as well as hydrogen bond acceptor groups such as, but not limited to, ethers, thioethers, esters, tertiary amides, alkyl-or arylphosphonic acids (salts/esters) -and phosphoric acids (salts/esters) or tertiary amines. Genetically encoded heteroaromatic amino acids include tryptophan and histidine.
According to the substituent R74Group E includes amino acids having side chains with polar-cationic, amido-or urea-derived residues. Polar-cationic refers to basic side chains that are protonated at physiological pH. Genetic codingThe polar-cationic amino acids of (a) include arginine, lysine and histidine. Citrulline is an example of a urea-derived amino acid residue.
According to the substituent R84Group F includes amino acids containing side chains with polar-uncharged or anionic residues. Polar-uncharged or anionic residues refer to hydrophilic side chains that are uncharged or anionic (carboxylic acids included), respectively, at physiological pH, but are not repelled by aqueous solutions. Such side chains typically contain hydrogen bond donor groups such as, but not limited to, primary and secondary amides, carboxylic acids and esters, primary and secondary amines, thiols, alcohols, phosphonic acids (salts/esters), phosphoric acids (salts/esters), urea or thiourea. These groups are capable of forming a hydrogen bonding network with water molecules. They may additionally contain hydrogen bond acceptor groups such as, but not limited to, ethers, thioethers, esters, tertiary amides, carboxylic acids and carboxylic acids (salts/esters), alkyl-or arylphosphonic acids (salts/esters) and phosphoric acids (salts/esters) or tertiary amines. Genetically encoded polar-uncharged amino acids include asparagine, cysteine, glutamine, serine and threonine, and aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
Group H includes side chains of preferably (L) -amino acids located at opposite positions of the β -strand region capable of forming interchain bonds. The most commonly recognized bond is a disulfide bridge formed by a cysteine and a homo-cysteine, which are located at opposite positions of the β -strand. Various methods are known for forming disulfide bonds, including those described in the following documents: tam et al Synthesis 1979, 955-; stewart et al, Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, 2d Ed., Pierce chemical Company, III., 1984; ahmed et al J.biol.chem.1975, 250, 8477-8482; and Pennington et al, Peptides, pages 164-. Most advantageously within the scope of the present invention, the disulfide bond may be prepared by an acetamidomethyl (Acm) -protecting group for cysteine. The well-established interchain bond is the attachment of ornithine and lysine to glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues, respectively, at opposite beta-strand positions by amide bond formation. Preferred protecting groups for the side chain amino groups of ornithine and lysine are allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc) and preferred protecting groups for aspartic acid and glutamic acid are allyl esters. Finally, interchain linkages can also be established by linking the amino groups of lysine and ornithine at the opposite β -strand positions to reagents such as N, N-carbonylimidazole to form cyclic ureas.
According to the substituent R86Group I includes glycine having an amino group substituted with a chain containing polar-cationic or hydrophobic residues. Polar-cationic refers to basic side chains that are protonated at physiological pH. Hydrophobic residues refer to amino acid side chains that are repelled by aqueous solutions without electrical charge at physiological pH.
As mentioned previously, the positions of the interchain bonds are: if n is 12, positions P4 and P9; and/or P2 and P11; if n is 14, positions P2 and P13 and/or P4 and P11; if n is 18, the positions P4 and P17 and/or P6 and P15 and/or P8 and P13. Such interchain linkages are known to stabilize the β -hairpin conformation and thus constitute an important structural element in the design of β -hairpin mimetics.

Particularly preferred β -peptide mimetics of the invention include those described in examples 21, 22, 38, 45, 51, 5253, 55, 56, 60, 61, 68, 75, 84, 85, 87, 101, 102, 105, 110, 120, 132, 147, 151, 152 and 160.
The method of the invention can advantageously be carried out in a parallel array synthesis, resulting in a library of template-fixed β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the general formula I above. This parallel synthesis allows arrays (arrays) of many (usually 24 to 192, typically 96) compounds of formula I to be obtained in high yields and with a defined purity, minimizing the formation of dimeric and multimeric by-products. The proper selection of functionalized solid support (i.e., solid support plus linker molecule), template, and cyclization sites therefore plays an important role.
The functionalized solid support may conveniently be selected from polystyrene crosslinked with (preferably 1-5%) divinylbenzene; coated with polyethylene glycol spacer (Tentagel)R) The polystyrene of (4); and polyacrylamide resin derivatization (see also Obrecht, D.; Villalgord, J. -M, "Solid-Supported Combinatorial and Parallel Synthesis of Small-Molecular-Weight Compounds", Tetrahedron organic chemistry Series, Vol.17, Pergamon, Elsevier Science, 1998).
The solid support is functionalized with a linker (linker), a bifunctional spacer molecule containing a binding group at one end for attachment to the solid support and a selectively cleavable functional group at the other end for subsequent chemical transformation and cleavage processes. For the purposes of the present invention, two types of linker are used:
type 1 linkers are designed to release the amide group under acidic conditions (Rink H, tetrahedron Lett.1987, 28, 3783-. This type of linker forms an amide of the carboxyl group of the amino acid; examples of resins functionalized by this linker structure include 4- [ ((((2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl) Fmoc-aminomethyl) phenoxyacetamido) aminomethyl ] PS resin, 4- [ (((2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl) Fmoc-aminomethyl) phenoxyacetamido) aminomethyl ] -4-methylbenzhydrylamine PS resin (Rink amide MBHA PS resin), and 4- [ ((((2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl) Fmoc-aminomethyl) phenoxyacetamido) aminomethyl ] benzhydrylamine PS-resin (Rink amide BHA PS resin). Preferably, the support is derived from polystyrene cross-linked with (most preferably 1-5%) divinylbenzene and functionalized with a 4- (((2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl) Fmoc-aminomethyl) phenoxyacetamido) linker.
Type 2 linkers are designed to eventually release the carboxyl group under acidic conditions. This type of linker forms acid labile esters with the carboxyl group of amino acids, typically acid labile benzyl, benzhydryl and trityl esters; examples of such linker structures include 2-methoxy-4-hydroxymethylphenoxy (Sasrin)RLinker), 4- (2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl-hydroxymethyl) -phenoxy (Rink linker), 4- (4-hydroxymethyl-3-methoxyphenoxy) butanoic acid (HMPB linker), trityl and 2-chlorotrityl. Preferably, the support is derived from polystyrene cross-linked with (most preferably 1-5%) divinylbenzene and functionalized with a 2-chlorotrityl linker.
When performed as a parallel array synthesis, the process of the invention may advantageously be performed as described below, but it will be apparent to the skilled person how these procedures may be modified when it is desired to synthesize a single compound of formula I above.
In a number of reaction vessels equal to the total number of compounds to be synthesized by the parallel method (generally 24 to 192, typically 96) 25-1000mg, preferably 100mg, of a suitable functionalized solid support, preferably 1-3% cross-linked polystyrene or Tentagel resin, are loaded.
The solvent used is capable of swelling the resin and includes, but is not limited to, Dichloromethane (DCM), Dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dioxane, toluene, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), ethanol (EtOH), Trifluoroethanol (TFE), isopropanol, and the like. Solvent mixtures containing at least one component as polar solvent (e.g. 20% TFE/DCM, 35% THF/NMP) are beneficial for ensuring high reactivity and solvation of the peptide chain bound to the resin (Fields, g.b., Fields, c.g., j.am.chem.soc.1991, 113, 4202-4207).
With the development of various linkers for releasing the C-terminal carboxylic acid group under mildly acidic conditions without affecting the acid labile group protecting the functional group in the side chain, significant progress has been made in the synthesis of protected peptide fragments. 2-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-derived linker (Sasrin)RLinker, Mergler et al Tetrahedron Lett.1988, 29, 4005-4008) was cleavable with dilute trifluoroacetic acid (0.5-1% TFA in DCM) and was stable under Fmoc deprotection conditions during peptide synthesis, and other protecting groups based on Boc/tBu were compatible with this protection scheme. Other linkers suitable for the method of the invention include the superacid labile 4- (2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl-hydroxymethyl) -phenoxy linker (Rink linker, Rink, h. tetrahedron lett.1987, 28, 3787-3790) -wherein removal of the peptide requires 10% concentration of acetic acid in DCM or 0.2% concentration of trifluoroacetic acid in DCM; 4- (4-hydroxymethyl-3-methoxyphenoxy) butanoic acid-derived linker (HMPB-linker, Fl rsheimer)&Riniker, Peptides 1991, 1990, 131) -which can also be cleaved with 1% TFA/DCM to give peptide fragments containing all acid labile side chain protecting groups; and, in addition, a 2-chlorotriphenylmethyl chloride linker (Barlos et al, Tetrahedron Lett.1989, 30, 3943-.
Suitable protecting groups for amino acids or their residues are, for example,
for amino groups (e.g. also in the side chain of lysine)
Cbz benzyloxycarbonyl
Boc tert-butoxycarbonyl
Fmoc 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl

The 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl- (Fmoc) -protected amino acid derivative is preferably used as building block for the construction of template-fixed beta-hairpin loop mimetics of the general formula I. For deprotection, i.e. cleavage of the Fmoc group, 20% piperidine in DMF or 2% DBU/2% piperidine in DMF may be used.
N-substituted glycine derivatives (type I) useful as building blocks for certain compounds of the general formula I can be derived from 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl- (Fmoc) -protected amino acid derivatives or can be derived in two steps from glycine precursors containing a leaving group, such as bromo-, chloro-or iodoacetic acid, and the appropriate primary amine building block NH2-R86And (4) forming. The first synthetic step is that an acetylating agent containing a leaving group, such as bromoacetic acid, is attached to the resin bound intermediate through the formation of an amide bond. The second reaction step, nucleophilic displacement, is accomplished by using primary amine building blocks, wherein the residue is, if necessary, suitably protected with a group as described above for the side chain of the amino acid.
For the introduction of N-substituted glycine derivatives as building blocks into template-immobilized β -hairpin loop mimetics, the general synthetic methods for assembling hairpin mimetics are used as described herein.
The amount of reactants, i.e. amino acid derivatives, is usually 1-20 equivalents (based on milliequivalents per gram (meq/g) of functionalized solid support initially weighed into the reaction tube (typically 0.1-2.85 milliequivalents per g for polystyrene resins)). Additional equivalents of reactants can be used to drive the reaction to completion in a reasonable time, if desired. The reaction tubes, together with a holder (hold block) and a manifold (maniffold), were reinserted into a reservoir block (reservoirblock) and the device was then fastened together. Gas is flowed through the manifold to provide a controlled environment, such as nitrogen, argon, air, and the like. The gas stream may also be heated or cooled prior to flowing through the manifold. Heating or cooling of the reaction well is achieved by heating the reaction mass or external cooling with isopropanol/dry ice or the like to cause the desired synthesis reaction. Stirring is achieved by shaking or magnetic stirring (within the reaction tube). Preferred workstations, however not limited to, are the Labsource's Combi-chem workstation and the MultiSynTech's-Syro synthesizer.
Amide bond formation requires activation of the alpha-carboxyl group for this acylation step. When this activation is carried out using a conventionally used carbodiimide-based compound such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, Sheehan & Hess, J.Am.chem.Soc.1955, 77, 1067-containing 1068) or diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC, Saratakis et al biochem.Biophys.Res.Commun.1976, 73, 336-containing 342), the obtained dicyclohexylurea and diisopropylurea are insoluble or soluble, respectively, in a conventionally used solvent. In a variant of the carbodiimide process, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt, K _ nig & Geiger, chem. Ber 1970, 103, 788-. HOBt prevents dehydration, inhibits racemization of activated amino acids, and acts as a catalyst to improve slow coupling reactions. Certain phosphonium reagents have been used as direct coupling reagents, such as benzotriazol-1-yl-oxy-tris- (dimethylamino) -phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP, Castro et al, Tetrahedron Lett.1975, 14, 1219-; these phosphonium reagents are also suitable for forming HOBt esters in situ with protected amino acid derivatives. More recently, diphenoxyphosphoryl azide (DPPA) or O- (7-aza-benzotriazol-1-yl) -N, N, N ', N' -tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TATU) or O- (7-aza-benzotriazol-1-yl) -N, N, N ', N' -tetramethyluronium Hexafluorophosphate (HATU)/7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOAt, Carpino et al, Tetrahedron Lett.1994, 35, 2279-.
Since a near quantitative coupling reaction is necessary, experimental evidence of reaction completion is desired. The ninhydrin test (Kaiser et al, anal. biochemistry 1970, 34, 595), in which a positive colorimetric reaction on an aliquot of resin-bound peptide qualitatively indicates the presence of a primary amine, can be readily and rapidly performed after each coupling step. Fmoc chemistry allows for spectrophotometric detection of Fmoc chromophores when they are released with a base (Meienhofer et al, int.j. peptide Protein res.1979, 13, 35-42).
The resin bound intermediates in each reaction tube were washed to remove remaining excess reagents, solvents and byproducts by repeated exposure to pure solvent according to one of two following methods:
1) adding a solvent (preferably 5ml) to the reaction well, immersing the reaction tube with the holder and manifold therein and stirring for 5-300 minutes, preferably 15 minutes, and then draining the liquid by gravity and then applying gas pressure through the manifold inlet (while closing the outlet) to expel the solvent;
2) the manifold is removed from the jig and an equal volume of solvent (preferably 5ml) is dispensed through the top of each reaction tube and drained by gravity through a filter into a receiving container such as a test tube or vial.
The two above washing procedures are repeated no more than about 50 times (preferably about 10 times), and the efficiency of removing reagents, solvents and by-products is monitored by methods such as TLC, GC or inspection of washings.
The above procedure of reacting the resin bound compound with a reagent and then removing excess reagent, byproducts and solvent in the reaction well is repeated to achieve each successive conversion until the final resin bound fully protected linear peptide is obtained.
Before this fully protected linear peptide is separated from the solid support, one or several protected functional groups present in the molecule can be optionally deprotected, if desired, and the reactive groups thus released can be appropriately replaced. For this purpose, the functional group must be initially protected by a protecting group which can be selectively removed without affecting the presence of the remaining protecting group. Alloc (allyloxycarbonyl) is an example of such an amino protecting group which can be used, for example, in CH2Cl2Pd ° and phenylsilane are selectively removed without affecting the remaining protecting groups such as Fmoc present in the molecule. The released reactive groups may then be substituted as appropriate to introduce the desired substitutionThe reagent of the base is processed. Thus, for example, an amino group can be acylated with an acylating agent corresponding to the acyl substituent to be introduced. For the formation of a pegylated amino acid, such as IPegK or SPegK, it is preferred to let 5 equivalents of HATU (N- [ (dimethylamino) -1H-1, 2, 3-triazolo [4, 5-b ]]Pyridin-1-ylmethylene]-N-methylmethanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide) solution in dry DMF and 10 equivalents of DIPEA (diisopropylethylamine) solution in dry DMF were separately mixed with 5 equivalents of 2- [2- (2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy ] ethoxy]Acetic acid (1Peg) or 2- (2-methoxyethoxy) acetic acid (sPeg) acts on the amino group of the side chain of the appropriate amino acid released for 3 hours. After filtration and washing of the resin the procedure was repeated for another 3h with a new reagent solution.
Before this fully protected linear peptide is detached from the solid support, interchain bonds can also be formed, if desired, between the side chains of suitable amino acid residues located at opposite positions in the β -chain region.
Interchain bonds and their formation have been discussed above by the explanations given in relation to the group of type H, which may be, for example, disulfide bonds formed by cysteine and homocysteine residues in opposite positions of the β -chain; or a lactam bond formed by the amide bond formation of an ornithine residue and a lysine residue linked to a glutamic acid residue and an aspartic acid residue, respectively, at opposite beta-chain positions or a2, 4-diaminobutyric acid residue linked to a glutamic acid residue at opposite beta-chain positions. The formation of such interchain bonds can be carried out by methods well known in the art.
For disulfide bond formation, preferably, 10 equivalents of iodine solution in DMF or in CH2Cl2The reaction in the MeOH/MeOH mixture was carried out for 1.5 h (this was repeated with fresh iodine solution for another 3h after filtration of the iodine solution), or else after having been carried out with 5% NaHCO3A mixture of DMSO and acetic acid buffered to pH5-6 was allowed to act for 4 hours, or by stirring in water adjusted to pH8 with ammonium hydroxide solution for 24 hours, or in a solution of NMP and tri-n-butylphosphine (preferably 50 equivalents).
For the formation of the lactam bond, preferably a solution of 2 equivalents of HATU (N- [ (dimethylamino) -1H-1, 2, 3-triazolo [4, 5-b ] pyridin-1-ylmethylene ] -N-methylmethanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide) in dry DMF and a solution of 4 equivalents of DIPEA (diisopropylethylamine) in dry DMF are applied for 16 hours.
The detachment of the fully protected linear peptide from the solid support is achieved by dipping the reaction tube together with a clamp and manifold into a reaction well containing a solution of the cleaving reagent (preferably 3 to 5 ml). Gas flow, temperature control, agitation and reaction monitoring were performed as described above and the disengagement reaction was carried out as needed. The reaction tube is removed from the receptacle block with the clamp and manifold and lifted above the liquid level but below the upper lip (upper lip) of the reaction well, and then air pressure is applied through the manifold inlet (while closing the outlet) to effectively drain the final product solution into the receptacle well. The resin remaining in the reaction tube is then washed 2-5 times with 3-5ml of a suitable solvent as described above to extract (wash out) as much of the liberated product as possible. The product solutions obtained were combined, taking care to avoid cross-mixing. Each solution/extract is then treated as necessary to isolate the final compound. Typical treatments include, but are not limited to, evaporation, concentration, liquid/liquid extraction, acidification, basification, neutralization or other reactions in solution.
The solution containing the fully protected linear peptide derivative which has been cleaved from the solid support and neutralized with a base is subjected to evaporation. The cyclization is then carried out in solution by using a solvent such as DCM, DMF, dioxane, THF or the like. Various coupling reagents as mentioned above can be used for this cyclization. The duration of the cyclization is about 6 to 48 hours, preferably about 16 hours. The progress of the reaction is followed, for example, by RP-HPLC (reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography). The solvent is then removed by evaporation, the fully protected cyclic peptide derivative is dissolved in a water-immiscible solvent such as DCM, and the resulting solution is extracted with water or a mixture of water-miscible solvents in order to remove any excess coupling reagent.
Alternatively, detachment and complete deprotection of the fully protected peptide from the solid support can be achieved manually in a glass container.
Finally, the fully protected peptide derivative was treated with 95% TFA, 2.5% H20, 2.5% TIS or other scavenger combination treatment to effect cleavage of the protecting group. The cleavage reaction time is generally 30 minutes to 12 hours, preferably about 2.5 hours. The volatiles were evaporated to dryness, then the crude peptide was dissolved in 20% AcOH aqueous solution and extracted with diisopropyl ether or other solvent suitable for the purpose. The aqueous layer was collected and evaporated to dryness and the fully deprotected cyclic peptide derivative of general formula I was obtained as the final product. Depending on its purity, these peptide derivatives can be used directly in biological tests, or require further purification, for example by preparative HPLC.
If desired, the fully deprotected product of the general formula I obtained can then be converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or the pharmaceutically acceptable or unacceptable salt obtained can be converted into the corresponding free compound of the general formula I or into a different pharmaceutically acceptable salt, as described earlier. Any of these operations can be performed by methods known in the art.

Systemic formulations include those designed for administration by injection (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal, or intraperitoneal injection), as well as those designed for transdermal, transmucosal, oral, or pulmonary administration.
For injections, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention can be formulated in a suitable solution, preferably in a physiologically compatible buffer such as Hink solution, Ringer solution or physiological saline buffer. The solution may contain pharmaceutical agents (formulating agents) such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention may be in powder form for mixing with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, prior to use.
For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation, as is known in the art.
For oral administration, these compounds can be readily formulated by mixing the active β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers allow the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. For oral formulations, such as powders, capsules and tablets, suitable excipients include fillers such as sugars, e.g. lactose, sucrose, mannitol and sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); granulating agent; and a binder.

For administration by inhalation, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention may be conveniently delivered from a pressurized pack or nebulizer with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas, conveniently in the form of an aerosol spray. For pressurized aerosols, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges, e.g., gels, containing a powder mixture of the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention with a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch may be formulated for use in an inhaler or insufflator.
The compounds may also be formulated in rectal or vaginal compositions such as suppositories, with suitable suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
In addition to the formulations described above, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention can also be formulated as depot preparations (depot preparations). Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (e.g. subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. For the preparation of such depot preparations, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (e.g., as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble salts.
In addition, other drug delivery systems may be used, such as liposomes and emulsions known in the art. Certain organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide may also be used. In addition, the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention can be delivered by using a sustained release system, such as a semipermeable solid polymer matrix containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained release materials have been established and are well known to those skilled in the art. Sustained release capsules can, depending on their chemical nature, release the compound over a period of several weeks to over 100 days. Depending on the chemical nature and biological stability of the therapeutic agent, additional strategies for protein stabilization may be used.
Because the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention may contain charged residues, they may be included in any of the above formulations as such or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous and other protic solvents than the corresponding free form.
The β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention, or their compositions, are generally used in an amount effective to achieve the intended purpose. It will be appreciated that the amount will depend on the particular application.
For topical administration to treat or prevent HIV infection, a therapeutically effective dose can be determined by using in vitro assays such as those provided in the examples. The treatment may be used when the HIV infection is visible, or even when it is not visible. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to determine, without undue experimentation, a therapeutically effective amount for treating a topical HIV infection.
For systemic administration, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from in vitro assays. For example, the dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating β -hairpin peptidomimetic concentration range that includes the IC as determined in cell culture50(i.e., the concentration of test compound that causes 50% death of the cell culture). This information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.
Initial dosages can also be determined from in vivo data, such as animal models, using techniques well known in the art. One of ordinary skill in the art can readily optimize dosing in humans based on animal data.
The dosage administered as an anti-HIV agent can be adjusted on the individual to provide plasma levels of the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention sufficient to maintain the therapeutic effect. Therapeutically effective serum levels can be achieved by administering multiple doses per day.
For local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the β -hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention may not be related to plasma concentrations. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to optimize therapeutically effective dosages for topical administration without undue experimentation.
The amount of β -hairpin peptidomimetic administered will, of course, depend on the subject to be treated, the weight of the subject, the severity of the patient, the mode of administration, and the judgment of the prescribing physician.
anti-HIV treatment may be repeated intermittently, when HIV infection is detectable or even when infection is not detectable. The treatment may be provided alone or in combination with other drugs, such as other anti-HIV agents or anti-cancer agents or other anti-microbial agents.
Generally, therapeutically effective doses of the beta-hairpin peptidomimetics described herein will provide therapeutic effects without causing substantial toxicity.
Toxicity of the beta-hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention can be determined by standard pharmaceutical methods in cell cultures or experimental animals, for example by determining the LD50(dose leading to 50% mortality in the population) or LD100(the dose that caused 100% mortality in the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index. Compounds that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used to formulate non-toxic dosage ranges for human use. The dosage of the beta-hairpin peptidomimetics of the invention is preferably in the range of severalWithin a circulating concentration range of effective doses that are not considered toxic or at all toxic. The dosage may vary within a certain range depending on the dosage form used and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be selected by the individual physician taking into account the condition of the patient (see, e.g., Fingl et al 1975 in the pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Ch.1, p.1).

If the total volume obtained is less than 0.2ml, a suitable amount of "blank" mouse plasma is added in order to maintain the same matrix as the calibration curve. The samples were then doped with IS and processed as described for the calibration curve.
Pharmacokinetic evaluation
By using the software PK solutions 2.0TM(Summit Research Service, Montrose, CO 81401USA) PK analyses were performed on pooled data (typically n 2 or 3). The area under the curve AUC is calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule. AUC(t-∞)Estimated as Ct/b (b: elimination rate constant). AUC(t-∞)Is AUC(0-t)And AUC(t-∞)The sum of (a) and (b). The elimination half-life is calculated by linear regression on at least three data points in the elimination phase. The time interval chosen for half-life determination is determined by the correlation coefficient (r)2) It is evaluated that the correlation coefficient should be at least higher than 0.85 and optimally higher than 0.96. For the case of i.v. administration, at tzeroThe lower starting concentration was determined by extrapolating the curve through the first two time points. Finally bioavailability after i.p. administration is by i.p. versus normalized AUC after i.v. administration(0-∞)And (4) calculating the ratio.

The intravenous kinetics of ex.51 were followed after intravenous administration of ex.51 at a dose level of 2mg/kg body weight. Ex.51 showed an extrapolated C of 28594ng/ml after PK analysisinitialAnd 1461ng/ml observed C at 5minmax. Plasma levels rapidly decreased to 328 and 80ng/ml at 15 minutes or 1 hour, respectively. From 1 to 3 hours, plasma levels were reduced with an elimination half-life of 2.8 hours to 49ng/ml at 3 hours. AUC(0-t)And AUC(0-∞)1704 and 1905ng.h/ml were reached, respectively.
After intraperitoneal administration of Ex.51 at a dose level of 10mg/kg body weight, the plasma level of Ex.51 increased almost linearly over the first 2 hours and showed 3160ng/ml of C at 2 hoursmax. From 2 to 8 hours, plasma levels were reduced with an elimination half-life of 2.5 hours to 519ng/ml at 8 hours. AUC(0-t)And AUC(0-∞)11112 and 12948ng.h/ml are respectively reached. I.v. dosing with ex.51 (100% absorption,953ng.h/ml) compared to absorption of 136% (1295ng.h/ml) after i.p. administration and a normalized Cmax 45-fold lower after i.p. administration (316 vs 1497 ng/ml). Values above 100% may reflect, in part, the reduction in reliability due to the limited number of data points.
